Angry Women Write An Open Letter To Donald Trump (MUST READ)

Dear Mr. Trump... can I call you Mr. Trump? Is that ok? I want you to be happy, that’s very important to me.

Before I get started, let me say this letter isn’t from all women. The Trumpettes surely won’t approve of this message. But this is from most women.

We see right
through you. We have all known you at some point. Your ways are not
unfamiliar to us. We see through you because we’ve been dealing with you
our whole lives.

We heard you call women pigs. And disgusting. And stupid. And bimbos.

We watched as you called a former Ms. Universe “Ms. Piggy” and then spent four days continuing to insult her.

We see your weakness. Your lust for attention at any cost, your need to denigrate women. We see all of it. And we’re mad.

Yes, we’re mad. And fired up. And here’s the thing about us: We can be bitches.

Gone are the
days where we question our power or our influence. We are strong. Smart.
We know our worth and it doesn’t reside in the size of our bras or our
skinny jeans. We build each other up. We have our sister’s backs. And
our brother’s. So when you took on the former Ms. Universe, you took on
all of us.

And right now
you’ve got a lot of angry women to contend with. And let me remind you,
Mr. Trump... hell hath no fury like a pissed off woman who’s tired of
this sexist bullshit.

We heard you when you said we should “look for another place to work”
if we experience workplace sexual harassment. Your non-solution
illustrates either your lack of understanding or lack of concern. Or
both. Your attitude and ignorance on this is stunning. Your response,
pathetic. We see you, and we see someone who’s in over their head.

We watched you
interrupt a woman 51 times during a 90-minute debate. While the better
qualified, more knowledgeable woman was talking, you attempted to
bulldoze right over her. We all know this game. It’s called male
privilege. And it doesn’t look good on you, Mr. Trump. It makes you look
weak. We see you, and we see a man who is so threatened by a woman
speaking that you can’t even bear to let her finish. Sad.

And we see it
rampant throughout your campaign and your proposed policies. It’s in
your paltry maternity leave proposal that leaves out fathers and LGBTQ
and adoptive parents. And when you say that women who seek abortions
should be punished. And when you refuse to consider supporting equal pay
for women.

Your latest ad,
in which your daughter, beaming with privilege and pride, says “being a
mother is the most important job a woman can have.” didn’t go over so
well with us, Mr. Trump.

We are
different, us women. We are not a homogenous army of fem-bots. We have
different interests, goals and lives. There is more to us than
motherhood. Some of us revel in motherhood. Some of us don’t want to
have children. And some of us can’t have children. Our status as mothers
has nothing to do with our worth. This ad, coupled with your policies,
show that you are tone deaf to the reality that women face and point to
an antiquated attitude — one that keeps women as the caregivers and
leaves men out of that equation.

We see you. And we see a man who has no business representing our interests in the Oval Office.

We heard you say no one would vote for Carly Fiorina “because of her face.”

We roll our eyes when we saw you try to dismiss Megyn Kelly
after she had the nerve to ask you questions. At a debate. “Blood
coming out of her wherever” was not lost on us. Most of us remember
hearing such comments in Middle School.

We watch you say one thing, then say the opposite.
Then refuse to admit any of it happened. Problem is, we can spot
gaslighting from a mile away.
